RECAP OF FUSION V!

The Fusion V fashion show went down last Friday the 28th at the Docks, and if you weren't there to take in the show you missed out on an amazing night of fashion! The atmosphere was on point, urban and upscale sums it up in a nustshell! The Fusion team also incorporated some comedy sets from comedian Trixx(he is hilarious:) which really kept the crowd roaring with laughter. This is my second time coming to the show and it seems to be get better an better every time!
Torontonians we need to take bow, we are for sure stepping up our game when it comes to fashion I was impressed! The main reason why I keep coming back to this show is becuase the creators and organizors of this team actually expose and promote our own home grown talent. Fusion V gives aspiring designers alike a place to shine and grow and for that my hats are off to them.

Below are some highlights from the show, once again if you missed it no worries stay tuned for FUSION VI coming shortly!

Product Review: Isadora Cosmetics

I had the opportunity to sample and review the Swedish line of makeup Isadora Cosmetics. This line started in 1983 in Sweden and is now in 40 other countries across the world! This line covers absolutely everything from make up, skin care, fragrances, body care as well as hair products. The line is also very affordable so you don't have to break the bank to look fabulous!

Here are just some of the products I had a chance to review:


Isadora Bronzing Powder

Now, as some of you may know I am a HUGE bronzer JUNKIE! From liquid, bronzer to powder, to shimmer I love it all! So I was pleased to find the Isadora sent me their bronzer to try. This one come in a powder form, that can be used on your face and all over the body for the sun kissed, healthy glow. Ladies take note, bronzer is your friend, every lady no matter what shade you are should own some bronzer! I wear bronzer year round because I'm just obsessed with the glow it gives my skin. BUT don't over do it, a little goes a long long way! So thumbs up for Isadora's Bronzer it's light and it gives you just enough glow to last through out the day!


Isadora Crystal Lip glaze

This lip glaze is wonderful! It doesnt leave that awful gooey film on your lips like some products do. It keeps your lips mousiterized throught the day with a pretty floral scent!



Creative Shades
The colour blend of these eye shadows are fabulous, you can wear each colour on its own or blend away for a beautiful finish. to add to that these shadows are crease free for hours on end!


Mineral Blush Powder
With this blush a little goes a long way! It's super concentrated so you just need a little and voila your cheeks are alive!

You can purchase these products at:
Cosmetic Mall

Happy Shopping!

I like Her Style...Lauren Conrad

Black and White is a huge trend this Spring season, and Ms. Conrad sure is working it!
I love the combo of a cute high waisted white skirt with a black tunic, classy and timeless!

Product Review: Satin Sugar All Purpose Treatment Balm by Cake Beauty

(retail 24.00 CAD)




As an admitable beauty junkie, I couldn't pass up the chance to sample and review Cake beauty's newest product Satin Sugar All Purpose Treatment Balm. As ladies we usually have the works in our bags to keep ourselves moisturized from body lotions, hand creams,cuticle creams,lip balms you name it we have it. But personally I would love to be able to have a product that could moisturize and hydrate ALL my dry spots in one jar. Alas, I have finally found a product that does all of the above! Satin Sugar Balm is literally a moisturizer for all your 2000 parts!

First off when you open the jar the sweet smell of Lemon cookies (satin sugar balms scent) instantly hits you, it smells literally like a cake shop I love love love this scent! I used Satin Sugar Balm on my hands, elbows,heels, lips and hands, which in turn made my skin feel moisturized and silky smooth effortlessly. The reason why it moisturizes so well is the fact that it is made with 86% Shea Butter, which is known for hydrating the skin along with 12% beeswax which helps retain moisture. To make this product even better it can also be used on your HAIR to smooth fly aways and frizzy ends all in one jar!

Toronto Style highly recommends Satin Sugar Balm as a must have, for every Beauty Junkie! Not to mention Cake Beauty products are proudly Canadian!

To purchase Satin Sugar Balm you can go to:

or
Your local Bay department store

TorontoStyle Spotlight: Stylist Shannon Antonia Vidal

Shannon Antonia has always had a love for fashion and creating outfits since she was a little child, and in the summer of 2003 that love became reality when she became the personal stylist for model Layan Lee. She was her personal stylist for 2 years until she decided to quit modeling to go back to school. At that point she too decided to take a break from styling to focus on my schoolwork as she neared graduation. She got the itch to get back into the fashion scene again, and started with helping to style & produce the fashion show for Windsor Sports Weekend 2007. Shortly after that she assisted with Toronto’s first ever Toronto Week of Style as well as L’oreal Fashion Week.

She has also helped style Fusion Urban Meets Vogue, one of the biggest urban fashion shows in Toronto. She is currently the personal stylist for rapper Kay Mila and is in the process of launching an event planning company, “La Vie” with her business partners which is expected to launch late spring to early summer of this year. La Vie will specialize in throwing themed parties/events; personal styling and a whole lot more!!! Stay tuned!!
